Magic

The arcane and divine magic systems in Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition — how spells are learned, memorised, and cast, the schools of magic, and the full per-level spell lists.

• Spell System — wizards vs. priests, memorisation, casting, sorcerers
• Schools of Magic — the eight schools and what each does
• Spells by Class — see every spell castable by Mage, Sorcerer, Bard, Cleric, Druid, Paladin, or Ranger
• Wizard Spells — Levels 1–5 (the BG:EE cap)
• Priest Spells — Levels 1–5 (the BG:EE cap)

Spell level cap in BG:EE

Because of the 161,000 XP cap, characters reach roughly level 7–9 by the end of BG:EE. As a result, only wizard spells through Level 5 and priest spells through Level 5 are available — higher levels are reserved for Baldur's Gate II.

For the rules that govern casting during combat — disruption, casting time, prerequisites — see Spell-Casting in Combat.
